A considered response to your post bathingsuitboi.
I have a similar story. I was about eleven when I developed a curiosity around girls leotards and swimwear. For sports like dancing, gymnastics and athletics girls got to wear skin tight outfits while boys doing the same activity had to wear shorts. The only exception was water sports so it's not surprising I rapidly developed a keen interest in swimming.
However I don't think having interests perceived as feminine by society is a sign of being gay.
What's regarded as feminine as a social construct. Leg shaving only became a thing when safety razors were invented and the almost universal shaving of pubic hair is even more recent.
I think my love of speedos is more of a naturist thing. Girls love wearing bikinis together and no one thinks that's gay so why is it different for guys?
Yes there is an internal sexual joy that comes from displaying your body just like girls do but it's not a specifically gay thing.
I'm old enough to remember a time when guys sunbathing (in speedos) was a common thing, I did it with a friend when I was 15.
I don't consider my self gay but I enjoy wearing speedos more if there are other guys around me also in speedos.
Like wise I would be happy to let another guy rub Sun screen on my back just like ladies do for each other.
So who knows.
